Raw pumpkin seeds are everywhere this time of year. My toddler loves to snack on them and I feel good knowing she is having a healthy snack packed with vitamins, iron and minerals. They also add a wonderful nutty texture and flavor to fish. I simply grind them and toss them with panko and seasoning, then top my fish, drizzle a little oil and bake.

I had some pumpkin seeds left over from my pumpkin bread (which by the way had a typo on the baking soda, if anyone made the pumpkin bread, I apologize, the correct amount is now listed) you could swap the pumpkin seeds with any nut you have on hand, I think pistachios would also be great.Pumpkin Seed Encrusted Baked TilapiaSkinnytaste.comServings: 4 • Serving Size: 1 tilapia filet • Old Points: 4 pts • Points+: 5 ptsCalories: 184.5 • Fat: 5.9 g • Protein: 31.3 g • Carb: 2.3 g • Fiber: 0.2 g • Sugar: 0.1Sodium: 67.1 (without salt)

This might be a stupid question, but I'm a recent pumpkin-lovin' convert, if I use seeds from a fresh pumpkin, do I need to shell them before grinding them up or can I just leave them whole and dried out? Thanks!

So I didn't have any pumpkin seeds handy, but I did have some pecans...followed the recipe otherwise and it was FAB!!! Served w/ some roasted brussels sprouts. Wonderful fall meal that I will be making again! Thanks!!!! michele

Just wanted to say thank you for all that you do. I made this for my daughter and I the other night. Only difference was i used almonds instead of of pumpkin. it was absolutely wonderful!! Thanks again!

I made this tonight as a replacement for Fish and chips. I only had walnuts, so that is what I used and so far it smells heavenly! With baked fries and a salad, I think this will be a perfect weeknight meal.

This was so easy and good. I followed the recipe exactly, with the pumpkin seeds and timing and everything was spot-on. My dad, who considers himself something of a fish connoisseur, said that it was definitely a repeat, which is high praise from him indeed!
